KenjiOgiwara Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Scaramancia is a real thing in football. And it takes excellent work rate, organisation, discipline and morivational skill from the manager to beat the worst cases of it. But we're not there. We need to do better. Deano needs to do better. They came back from 2-1 against Roma to win 6-2, so we should have been far more alert that second half. Instead we switched off until we gave them the lead. Big fan of Deano, but this was poor methinks. Lighting a **** fire under their arses and having them focused is a big part of his job, and he failed today. Oh well. I expected nothing today, so nothing changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 There wasn’t really much more than Dean could have done today. Bar the silly mistakes and corrupt refereeing, we really weren’t that bad. Certainly not 1-3 bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I'm genuinely starting to wonder if I'll ever see us beat United at home. If they haven't already blown us away you can bet we'll find a way to do something stupid and give them the win. Every year without fail. Oh well, like I said in the reaction thread, I knew this was going to happen so there's no point being disappointed over it all. My biggest disappointment is no Watkins and we're gonna have to see Davis or Wesley upfront against Everton bloody hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's also not forget that no team this season has beat them at home and they've scored more second half goals than any other team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd have scored so many goals second half in the season and are the comeback kings and are second in the league with quality throughout and they can bring on Cavani and we have Davis. You cannot surely blame Smith for that result today, or if you can it's bizarre. I know people have issues with Dean and some i get and some i dont, but being reasonable has to come into it.

Mad rushes of blood to the head sometimes for bizarre, unnecessary fouls in dangerous areas. Cash tried to emulate him the other day as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I think Dean Smith for next season should get Vinnie Jones out of retirement for 2 games. I'm sure he'll be available after his initial 20 game ban to play in the second game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree...both Luiz mistake to start off with for the penalty and Mings trying to hard to get the ball and Greenwood turned him easily. Two silly mistakes but then the ref took over and decided to really give Man U the game, disgraceful from the ref. We were part of our own downfall but jeez that ref may as well put a Man U shirt on at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And **** knows what that second goal was about. If that isn't switching off in professional footy I don't know what is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 The second half performance was pathetic. Waa absolute bottle job and the ref was just adding to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that isn't switching off in professional footy I don't know what is. So an individual error means switching off? To me switching off is not following runners, giving the ball away cheaply etc.. As a team we had not switched off. Luiz makes a terrible decision and things change on that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 9, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2021 Plan B! Ollie out left and a couple of big centre forwards. It's not complicated, but we changed it up and it looked like we carried a threat. Good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal errors are a part of switching off. That's pretty basic. You do stupid shit when you're not focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 You can't blame Dean for what happened I thought overall we played well, just individual errors and the ref cost us. The substitutions nearly paid off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
